The Shopping List—aka We've got flipping great wadges of cash

I think the French league is on a par with die Bundesliga

Claudius

Without aiming for the absolue best, it would be good to see 1 player from each one of these groups:

Hazard, Forlan
Cahill, Zapata
Parker, Banega, A. Diarra, Montolivo, Toulalan

to replace one of these players from each one of the same groups

Rosicky, Vela, Bendtner
Squillaci, Koscielny
Denilson, Denilson

That's a lot of flexibility I have given you, Messrs Kroenke and Gazidis. Now go get 'em.

Bundesliga is a very entertaining league to watch with loads of top young players, but, lets be honest, they don't have the best of defenses.

Players like Pizzaro and Kuranyi have scored tonnes of goals over there.

Nice touch😉

To add to this

In
4 Nobody
Out
4 Almunia

Clrnc

Shocking he didn't include Almunia 😆

Whats Forlan in there for? Montolivo and Banega aint as defensive as the others in that group as well

Claudius

There's no need to include Almunia. If the club doesn't sell him, he'll do the right thing and disappear. Almunia knows it's wrong to to keep sabotaging us

Ricky, do you watch the bundesliga with any regularity?

Because honestly, I don't see how someone with your opinions and views on football and how it should be played cannot rate it.

No, I don't. The odd game when there is a player I want to watch, but not enough to have a definite opinion. What I'm going off is how players who excelled in the Bundesliga have done when they have moved abroad. Not an ideal way to judge, but it's all I've got, and based on that it seems a lot easier to excel, and especially score goals, in Germany than it does here in England.

The bundesliga is basically everything that you wish for in football on a weekly, game by game basis. High technique, high tempo and tactical nous almost from top to bottom. Third best league in europe easily and it would be second if it weren't for barca and madrid.

Ricky1985

High praise, might have to give it a try.

It's definitely worth a go Ricky, I don't usually bother with foreign football other than the odd La Liga game now and then, but caught a Dortmund game once and fell in love with them (and the league in general) since then.

That being said, you're probabaly right about it being easier to flourish if you're an attacking player, but it doesn't mean its a poor standard.

Captain

Mate, you especially would love it more than a fat kid loves cake if you tuned in regularly.

Rex

IN - Messi
OUT - Almunia, PHW

Armor

I keep meaning to watch it but there just always seems to be another game on that stops me. I watch 2 leagues consistently - add in trying to keep tabs of Miyachai and co, and maybe watching the big games in Spain at my mates house and then maybe a bit of Hazard if i can... you see where i'm going with this

Ricky1985

It's bothering with streams that stops me. When I had Sky Sports and ESPN, I used to watch Ligue 1 and La Liga regularly, and occasionally the Bundesliga. Bothering with streams when it's not Arsenal, or Arsenal related, just seems like too much effort.

Armor

Ha ye i forgot that bit too, i struggle for decent streams which is a big deterrent and its never in English commentary. That Fox sopcast channel is one of the best fucking things on the internet, i get a perfect serie a stream for basically every game i want to watch and the majority of PL games. Has the odd ligue 1 game on it too.

kamikaze

the bundesliga is the best league in the world in terms of how it's set up, i think most reasonable people would agree.

lorddulaarsenal

Cos you can booze in the stadium

Biggus

You can in Australia too.
You need it to watch the football.
